Film’s in 20th century

In the 1920s, new technology permitted filmmakers to attach to each film a soundtrack of speech, music and sound effects synchronized with the action on the screen. These sound films were initially illustrious by calling them "talking pictures", or talkies.

The next main step in the development of cinema was the introduction of color. While the addition of sound speedily eclipsed silent film and theater musicians, color was adopted more gradually. The public was comparatively indifferent to color photography as opposed to black-and-white,[citation needed] but as color processes improved and became as affordable as black-and-white film, more and more movies were filmed in color after the end of World War II, as the industry in America came to view color as necessary to attracting audiences in its competition with television, which remained a black-and-white medium until the mid-1960s. By the end of the 1960s, color had become the norm for film makers.

Since the reject of the studio system in the 1960s, the succeeding decades saw changes in the production and style of film. New Hollywood, French New Wave and the increase of film school educated independent filmmakers were all part of the changes the medium experienced in the latter half of the 20th century. Digital technology has been the energetic force in change throughout the 1990s and into the 21st century.

Development of Film in 1880’s

The pictures were publicized at a variable speed of about 5 to 10 pictures per second depending on how rapidly the crank was turned. A number of of these machines were coin operated. By the 1880s, the development of the motion picture camera allowed the individual constituent images to be captured and stored on a single reel, and led quickly to the development of a motion picture projector to be skilled at light through the processed and printed film and magnify these "moving picture shows" onto a screen for an entire audience. These reels, so exhibited, came to be called as "motion pictures." Early motion cinema were static shots that showed an event or action with no editing or other cinematic techniques.

Motion pictures were purely visual art up to the late 19th century, but these inventive silent films had gained a hold on the public imagination. Around the turn of the twentieth century, films began developing a description structure by stringing scenes together to tell narratives. The scenes were later broken up into various shots of varying sizes and angles. Other techniques such as camera movement were realized as effective ways to portray a story on film. Rather than leave the audience in silence, theater owners would hire a pianist or organist or a full rock band to play music fitting the mood of the film at any given moment. By the early 1920s, most films came with a organized list of sheet music for this purpose, with complete film scores being composed for major productions.

History of Film

Mechanisms for producing unnaturally created, two-dimensional images in movement were demonstrated as early as the 1860s, with devices such as the zoetrope and the praxinoscope. These machines were outgrowths of easy optical devices (such as magic lanterns) and would display sequences of still pictures at enough speed for the images on the pictures to show to be moving, a phenomenon called persistence of vision. Naturally, the images wanted to be carefully designed to achieve the desired effect — and the underlying principle became the basis for the development of film animation.

A framework from Roundhay Garden Scene, the world's first film to date, by Louis Le Prince, 1888With the development of celluloid film for still photography, it became likely to directly capture objects in motion in real time. Early versions of the technology sometimes necessary a person to look into a viewing machine to see the pictures which were divide paper prints attached to a drum turned by a handcrank.

Film

Film is a term that encompasses creature motion pictures, the field of film as an art form, and the motion picture industry. Films are formed by recording images from the world with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or exceptional effects.

Films are artistic artifacts produced by exact cultures, which repeat those cultures, and, in turn, change them. Film is considered to be an main art form, a source of popular entertainment, and a powerful method for enlightening -or indoctrinating- citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a common power of communication; some movies have become popular universal attractions, by using dubbing or subtitles that transform the dialogue.

Traditional films are made up of a sequence of individual images called frames. When these images are shown quickly in succession, a viewer has the illusion that motion is occurring. The viewer cannot see the iridescent between frames due to an effect known as persistence of vision — whereby the eye retains a visual image for a small part of a second after the source has been removed.

The beginning of the name "film" comes from the fact that photographic film (also called film stock) has historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms be present for an individual motion picture, including picture, picture show, photo-play, flick, and most commonly, movie. Additional terms for the field in common include the big screen, the silver screen, the cinema, and the movies.
